about

Written in my first apartment, the neighbors below me smoked heavily and I kept a cinnamon air freshener in my bathroom. One morning when I went to shower, both smells mixed in an acrid gross stench; that's when I had my song title. As far as the content of the song, I had been listening to a lot of Goldfrapp so my original demo was a bit more electronic versus the jazz Frank cranked out. The lyrics are sexually charged, certainly a bit humorous, but the point of the song is at the very end when I sing "my thoughts smell like cinnamon, my heart reeks of cigarette smoke". Any fun thing can be bad for you if you become consumed by it be it alcohol, money, sex, or video games.

lyrics

I want to whisper softly, I have an agenda
I want to lay you down to start some friction

I’m tired of feeling stupid
It’s so confusing
Just knowing which part’s which and where they go

Pillow talk is all I want
Pillow talk is all I want

I’m boning up on intellect from a girl with knowledge
Forbidden information through conversation

Pillow talk is all I want
Pillow talk is all I want

My thoughts smell like cinnamon
My heart reeks of cigarette smoke

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
